Titling Voices Across Continents and Other Programs Linked to Translation

Since 2014, the Italian Program and the Inserra Chair have worked in synergy to offer students of Italian a variety of educational and pre-professional opportunities linked to the field of translation and titling for cinema and live performance (opera theater).

Combining a course in translation and the collaboration with Prescott Studio, a titling agency based in Florence, which serves some of the most established theaters in Italy, the Italian Program aims to open the doors of “accessibility for live performances” to the students who show an interest in this up-and-coming profession.

With a summer internship in Italy and a number of prominent plays and operas translated and adapted for theaters both in Italy and New York, the Italian Program’s goal is clearly spelled: to become a pole of attraction for students to deepen their knowledge of Italian language and culture while designing their future job opportunity.
